Christianity Explored

May 22 and 23 we will have Rico Tice, pastor of Evangelism, All Souls Church, London, will be presenting a conference in Monterrey. He only speaks English. The English conferences start at about 11:15 and will end at 5:30pm Central Time (Chicago). We will take a break for lunch for approximately 1 hours.

We will be putting a stream cast of this event live on internet. There a two Internet video services that will will be trying. Their windows are at the top of the right column on this page. 

Flu Fobia

We are trying to organize an event on evangelism. The biggest problem is the fear that is present as a result of the flu virus talk. Many don't want to "risk" anything. The problem is that this virus has resulted almost normal compared with other virus'. People have a greater risk of dying from just going to bed that from being exposed to the virus. More people die from being in bed that from the virus. I don't know what it is going to take to get out of the virus syndrome. Be praying that people can leave the fear behind.

Swine Flu advances

Today, Monday April 27, the National Government of Mexico suspended classes in the whole country because of Swine Flu. We have heard of several Christians who are reported to have the disease. One girl who attende our missionary convention in Guadalajara is preported to have the symtoms.  

Also there was an Earthquake in Mexico City that put everyone in the streets as they have had severe quakes in the past. This also puts more people at risk from the flu. 

Be praying that a solution to the flu is found soon, and that God protect us from this disease.

We are looking for ways to give classes by internet to those who are home bound to avoid the flu. Pray that the Lord open doors in this time of Crisis.

Flu in Mexico

Please be praying as the swine flu continues to claim lives in Mexico. There is an Mexican English News Paper that you can read and keep up with what is happening. www.thenews.com.mx.

I was talking to a friend in Mexico City last night and she said the 3 members of her church had the disease. She asked that we pray for Mexico.

False Religion: Christless Christianity

Christian Smith has identified a false religión “made in America”. He calls this religión “moralistica, thearpeutica deism”. The key points in this religión are:

1.       God created the world.

2.       God wants people to be good, nice, and fair to each other, as taught in the Bible an most world religions.

3.       The central goal of life is to be happy and to feel good about oneself.

4.       God does not neeed to be particularly involved in one’s life except when needed to resolve a problema.

5.       Good people go to heaven when they die.

These popular ideas indicate that we are good, God is good and we should be nice. We don´t have to know much to go to heaven and to live our own lives here on earth. We just have to do good things. Knowing the Bible story is unnecessary.

This religión is rapidly taking the place of Christianity arround the world. People need good Bible teaching if they are going to “resist”, we must teaching the whole Bible story and not just accomedate our cultural images of Jesus with Bible texts.
